The book of Revelation is not calling into account ancient history. It seems that the preterist are hung up on ancient history while totally discrediting the message found in the N.T. to the NEW TESTAMENT church.
It seems that they are hung up on old ancient Jerusalem that was already cut off, rejected and no longer part of God's plan at the time of the writings of the NEW TESTAMENT to the NEW TESTAMENT church.
The message of Revelation was to the New Testament church of all ages, including the N.T. church of the 21st century. Otherwise, let us just tear out the part that is no longer addresses our need today. But they want to make it just a history account. How awful!
The book of Revelation was written to the seven churches of Asia, being the whole of all N.T. Churches in the complex. Whatever church you are a part of today, you may find the message of Jesus to your church within those messages. Most are called on to repent. Everything in revelation from there on is a result or consequence of what is done with the message to the church. To repent or not to repent is the question. Consequences and/or rewards are noted depending on reception of the message of Jesus to his church.
The matter of O.T. prophets mixed in are a ruse to divert from the message that God would have have us to hear concerning his church. N.T. church...not what is about something already dead.
